Let me in your ear. I got something you need to hear.

Turn the volume up so it's loud and clear. A podcast where we talk about politics
0:08
and culture are slipping the limits like a 504 soldier. We're not pretenders, ain't no agendas.
0:13
Our only plan is to keep it 100 and do it for the fam. Yeah.
0:20

0:43

0:58
So what's good? What's been up with you? Oh man, nothing much.
1:01
Did that sleep study crap last night. We was just talking about had the worst
1:06
night's sleep I've had in a year.
1:10
How the hell are you going to put something, make me put something around my
1:14
chest and my face and expect me to have a good night's sleep?
1:19
Yeah, yeah, I hear you. I do not envy you in that regard.
1:23
Not at all. Yeah, so anyway, man, what are you talking about today?
1:27
So today we're going to talk about 10 best black movie and or TV villains. I like it.
1:36
Y'all saw an episode. Yeah, yeah. And crazy enough, as we just went over before
1:41
we hit record, we only overlapped on two characters.
1:46
Which is shocking. Because I thought at least half we would overlap on.
1:51
I knew for a fact I would have at least two that you didn't choose.
1:54
Because I know you haven't sat down and watched Breaking Bad.
1:57
Breaking Bad, for sure. Let me stop.
2:01
You want to do the ones we overlap on first?
2:04
Yeah. I mean, let's just knock them out. Let's get them out the way.
2:07
So the two, it was two, right, that we overlapped on. Yep.
2:11
We chose Wesley Snipes as Nino Brown, New Jack City.
2:15
I don't think we need to say much about that. We all know who Nino is.
2:19
He's a legendary character.
2:22
And the other one we chose was Denzel Washington as Alonzo in Training Day.
2:28
Again, we don't need to say much about that. A legendary character and performance from Denzel.
2:33
So as the years go on, he was a horrible person. Dude, he was scum.
2:43
Like as I was doing this, I thought about it. I'm like, yeah,
2:47
man, his character was just wild. Wild.
2:50
Wild and out, bro. I mean, like,
2:54
He said that he had to die. Like, you know, people like, you know,
2:57
it should be a training day part two.
2:59
He's like, no, I had to die at the end of that movie. I agree.
3:02
He had to die at the end of that movie. To show how O.C. he was.
3:07
Think about the bathroom sink.
3:09
How are you going to explain what happened to your trainee?
3:14
Bro, the fact that he like called
3:17
them dudes like Murkham, gave them fools that blender full of money.
3:23
How would he have explained that that you're right and made him carry it right,
3:29
you're carrying your bounty,
3:33
yeah he was oc.
3:37
Which is why he's on the list yes all right bro uh let's let's let's just get
3:43
into it then let's have fun with this thing man so you want you want to start
3:46
you want me to start all right so So the other person I chose that we didn't
3:52
have or we didn't overlap on, I guess I should say,
3:56
is Danny Glover as Mr. On the Color Purple.
4:00
The original Color Purple, not that remake with Fantasia. Right.
4:05
Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey. No, hey, that guy was.
4:11
Talk about an example of how not to treat your woman.
4:16
Just watch this movie. I mean, this guy was for the worst husband ever.
4:22
He was an example of how just not to be.
4:24
I'm just. Yeah, dude. He had his side piece stay up in the crib.
4:29
And then had his wife cooking, cooking for his side piece. Come on, man.
4:36
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
4:40
Pedophile, rapist. Yeah. Abusive. Abusive physically and verbally. Yeah.
4:48
Just an overall piece of shit. Piece of shit.
4:54
Yes, Mr. Piece of shit. And you can't, And obviously you can write that on paper
5:00
and make anybody look despicable. Yeah.
5:03
But he played that role. The way he played it. Yeah. It's just like.
5:08
Yeah. I hated Danny Glover until Lethal Weapon.
5:10
Yeah. I was like, oh, okay. He ain't that bad. Yeah.
5:13
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He played that part a little too well, in my opinion. Yeah. Go ahead, bro.
5:21
So my first one, well, third one, Stringer Bell.
5:26
Stringer Bell. Give it to me. So The Wire, every Sunday, it's me and my ex-wife's thing.
5:33
Kids in the bed, we sit down and watch The Wire. Popcorn, literally.
5:38
Bucket of popcorn, that's our Sunday night thing.
5:41
Until I got a little bit older and had watched The Wire, because I'm about to shock some people.
5:47
I've watched The Wire beginning to end seven times. The entire series?
5:52
Seven times. Wow. Wow.
5:55
That dude is my least favorite character on the show.
5:59
And I loved it when it was live and when it was happening. I was like,
6:03
man, String, you're the best character on here. And that dude was trash.
6:11
The scene with D'Angelo was like, where's Wallace String?
6:16
Watching it now, I'm like, that fool just got up, pointed at D'Angelo,
6:21
and then walked out. and then he put a hit on D'Angelo.
6:28
So wasn't The Wire loosely based on like real characters in Baltimore?
6:34
Yeah. So, you know, obviously Snoop, the deacon.
6:37
Melvin was a, he was a heroin dealer and kingpin.
6:43
Shoot. Remember the dude, remember the dude that showed up in prison when Omar
6:47
went to prison and Omar stood up and knuckled and the dude had the knife.
6:51
It's been years since I watched it.
6:54
The dude that got killed with Omar at Monk's apartment.
6:57
When Omar jumped off the cliff and broke his ankle. Yeah. That's the real Omar.
7:02
What? Yeah. That's the real Omar. Wow. You get a chance, man.
7:07
He's done some podcasts over the years.
7:10
Yeah, man. Interesting. Yeah. He said that Omar, he said that Michael Williams,
7:16
he said, man, I couldn't have picked a better person to play that kid. He was like, that was me.
7:21
Okay. I was okay all right all right
7:24
I'm gonna stick with the wire next person I got on the list is Michael K Williams
7:29
as Omar yeah I mean the worst of the worst tough guys was terrified of Omar yes the dude was like.
7:44
A superhero this this the stuff he used to do
7:46
and get away with like that whole projects
7:50
all of them was just terrified of omar
7:54
i was kind of you know pissed off the way he went out oh
7:57
dude i threw something at the tv oh man i was just like
8:00
really that that's how y'all gonna let omar go out but if
8:03
you re-watch it you see it coming a
8:07
whole season beforehand when you re-watch
8:10
it when all them little shorties kept talking and that one shorty was
8:13
like i ain't scared of him canard was the only one who ever
8:17
showed fear yeah because he respected him yeah
8:20
and the reason he killed him is because if
8:23
you think if you remember when he pulled the gun
8:25
on michael now michael was like man if he would have
8:28
made me from monk's apartment the other night i would be dead
8:31
and canard caught him a gimp he just
8:35
he looked him up and down as he was limping away and caught him a
8:37
gimp he had lost all respect for oh wow
8:41
and that was i think two two episodes before he shot it
8:43
wow yeah yeah yeah
8:46
but omar omar was unreal man yeah and the
8:50
wire is a great series for anyone who hasn't watched it please go back and watch
8:55
it it it lives up to the hype i know people say it's like one of the best series
8:59
ever it really is go back and watch the wire so you can if you haven't seen
9:04
it so you can understand some of these characters that we're talking about.
9:09
Go ahead, bro. So this character, personally, to me, is the best bad guy in
9:17
TV and movie history. Mm-hmm.
9:19
Gus Fray. You got to tell me about him. So...
9:24
We don't know his backstory. He's from Chile.
9:28
It's mentioned several times in the series that, so he worked for the cartel.
9:35
He set up, he had some chicken spots in New Mexico. What show is he from?
9:41
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Okay. So he had the chicken spot set up,
9:45
but that was his distribution channel.
9:47
He used to put the meth inside of the sauce that they used to ship back and
9:52
forth across the border.
9:54
But he was one of those guys, like, think of characters that you've seen in
9:58
movies that are smiling one second, and then their facial expressions change. You're like, oh, shit.
10:05
That was him. Was this Giancarlo Exposito? Oh, yeah. Okay.
10:11
So. Or a posito, however they pronounce it now.
10:15
There's a scene where he's just fed up with Walter.
10:18
And you got to watch Walter Zutland. And look, people love Walter White.
10:22
They walked around with the hat on the glasses.
10:25
Walter Wright dismantled the drug operation as large as the Nasdaq. These are his words.
10:31
If I stop going to work, a business the size of a business large enough to go
10:35
on the Nasdaq would cease to exist.
10:37
Right. And he brought it down with his greed.
10:41
They took him in the desert, had him tied up, you know, Walt being Walt,
10:47
because at that point he was he was Heisenberg.
10:50
Man, Giancarlo Esposito was
10:51
like, I will kill your wife, your son and your infant daughter. Oh, wow.
11:00
He poisoned the entire cartel. And there was a famous box cutter scene where
11:07
he comes into the lab, doesn't say a word.
11:11
Walt's pleading and begging because Walt thinks him and Jesse are about to get killed.
11:15
He walks over and Mike from Beverly
11:19
Hills Cop. Remember when Eddie Murphy threw old boy over the table?
11:21
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I forget his name. Yeah. But, you know.
11:24
He's in that? Oh, yeah. He's one of the main characters.
11:27
Oh, wow. Okay. So he's standing back there with a gun and Walt and Jesse.
11:32
Mm-hmm. And then there's another dude standing in front of them.
11:35
And he walk over there. He put on the suit,
11:38
the hazard suit Put the gloves on, Walt just talking Trying to spare his life
11:42
He walked over, grabbed one of his own workers Cut his throat with a box cutter
11:46
And held him, staring at Walt Let him go,
11:52
Walked back up the steps, took the suit off, said, get to work and left. Wow.
12:01
Now, that's just a tip. You know, the way you are describing this guy,
12:06
I might have to watch Breaking Bad.
12:08
But his his whole spiel, he was a friend of the police and he talked like this.
12:15
Like, thank you so much. I appreciate it. But when his whole demeanor changed, it was stoic.
12:22
Oh, shit. This dude is crazy. Yeah, man. To me, the greatest bad guy.
12:27
All right. All right. Yeah.
12:28
I might have to watch Breaking Bad just for that performance.
12:32
All right. Next up on my list, I'm going to go with a favorite,
12:35
Tiny Lister Jr., God rest his soul, Debo from Friday.
12:40
For those of us who've seen Friday, hey, we know what a legendary character Debo was.
12:46
You got on my drink I got on my 40 but here's what makes Debo great for me that his name is now a verb,
12:57
in the slang community you gotta be a great character for your name to become
13:03
a verb man you got Debo I'm just saying great character Debo Tiny Lester Jr.
13:10
That's a guy rest his soul you know one of the funniest things about his character
13:13
the fact that he used to grab on people's pockets Right?
13:17
It wasn't asking for the money. It was like, remember how Smokey was looking
13:22
at him? Y'all some callers. What you mean you don't got no money?
13:24
Smokey was like grabbing on his pocket.
13:29
Yeah, Deebo. Deebo was a trip, man. So my next one goes back to The Wire. Marlo Stanfield.
13:39
Marlo, my favorite character on The Wire. So the closest I can think is.
13:45
To Gus Frank is his character. Now, the difference between the two,
13:50
I can hear people right now saying you out your damn mind.
13:52
The difference between their two characters is Gus was very front facing.
13:57
He was very polite. He was very, you know, people loved him.
14:02
But the other side, they're the same. Remember when he told Bodie,
14:06
I'm being real gentlemanly about it. Yeah.
14:10
That's how that's how his character was. Marlo was very soft spoken.
14:15
But think about the characters. I think it was season four when they were sitting
14:21
out and where he would always sit outside. It was him and Snoop.
14:24
And I don't know if you know who Jahan Jones is, but it was his.
14:28
He's real famous online right now doing the comedy skits or whatever. But he's from that area.
14:34
It was his character. He had the long braids and he was talking about the package
14:38
and the money. And he told him, short your people. He was like, but they my people.
14:42
He said, short yourself or two love.
14:44
Right. Just sit around and wait for Chris and Snoop to come. Right. Right.
14:49
And all dude could do was be like, I and walk away. Yeah.
14:54
Hey, you know what I loved about Marlo? His intelligence, man.
14:58
Yeah, that's that. I love the fact that they the police knew who he was,
15:02
but they still couldn't pin anything on him.
15:05
I loved his intelligence. So you know why he's on this list?
15:08
He's on this list for killing the other person who should have been on this
15:13
list. Prop Joe was a piece of shit.
15:17
We loved Prop Joe. Right. Shooting and killing Prop Joe like that.
15:22
And then just like, yeah, then now what? Yeah.
15:26
Yeah prop joe was a piece of shit yeah yeah that ain't not like i was saying
15:32
previously y'all if you haven't seen the wire go check out the wire if you're
15:36
not familiar with some of these characters we're talking about you will not
15:40
be disappointed it's on me all right next up on my list,
15:46
leon the temptations david ruffin nobody come to see you notice say it again
15:54
bro ain't nobody They come to see you, Otis. The best line ever.
16:02
If you don't think David Ruffin was a villain, David Ruffin is absolutely the
16:09
villain of the Temptations.
16:12
Dude was just off the hook, man.
16:15
I mean, just not in a comical kind of way, but the stuff he did was actually
16:21
funny. It's just like, bro, what are you on right now?
16:26
Talk about one dude who literally tried to mess up the money.
16:29
Yes. He he went out of his way to try and mess up the money.
16:34
Had he acted right. I mean, don't even with all of the success,
16:39
success, the temptations had.
16:41
If he just acted right, they would have been even larger.
16:46
Dude was just like an egomaniac. Let this be a lesson to you If you got a group,
16:55
And one of them is an egomaniac. Get rid of him now.
16:59
He'll mess up everything or she will mess up everything. The egomaniacs do not
17:05
know how to play nice with others.
17:07
That was his problem. It rarely happens and it's rarely successful.
17:12
Bobby Brown might be the exception. Correct.
17:14
Correct. And they got rid of Bobby. Yep. Yeah.
17:18
Quick. Right. Right. Cannot have an egomaniac in your group.
17:23
All right. It's on you, bro. So my next one, going back to the wire, is Brother Muzon. Okay.
17:29
And I hate to keep, feel like I'm beating a dead horse. For years,
17:33
I thought Gus Fring's character was based on Brother Muzon. They're the same person.
17:38
Interesting. The articulation. Yeah, yeah. The reading, they are the same person.
17:43
They dress alike. They're the same person.
17:45
That's probably something we should look into, bro. They're not. I did. Oh, okay.
17:50
It's not based on it. But as far as being nice and kind but will kill you,
17:56
they're the same type of people.
17:58
But yeah, man, for me, Brother Muzon, just the dialogue when he shot cheese.
18:04
Yeah. What you need to be worried about is what's in the chamber now.
18:07
Yeah. That fool was like, what'd he say?
18:10
A hollow point jacketed something of my own creation.
18:15
Listen, y'all, I love The Wire. But if y'all can't tell from this list,
18:20
my brother KG loves The Wire. Great.
18:26
Love it. Love it. Were you done with that, bro? Yeah, yeah. All right. Next up on my list.
18:33
Tupac Shakur, God rest his soul, Bishop in juice.
18:39
Yeah, you could have went with Birdie or Bishop on this one. That's true.
18:42
But yeah, I picked Bishop because, you know, one, this is in the hood movie era.
18:50
But the dude just like flipped out and started killing all his friends.
18:54
I'm just like, this is off the hook. Sort of like Debo.
18:59
I mean Bishop didn't get his own verb but you know we had cats running around
19:03
the hood talking about I'm Bishop I'm Bishop yeah yeah listen,
19:08
the movie not so much you can watch it but it's not on my recommend list Riverside but.
19:19
Tupac's performance in Juice is pretty good I'll give him that the rest of the
19:26
movie like I said not so much you will see a lot of recognizable faces in it.
19:30
Oh yeah, for sure. But the plot, the storyline, all of that is kind of whack,
19:34
but Bishop was a menacing character.
19:38
And that's why I put him on the list. My favorite line in that movie.
19:42
You gonna sled down the race with Blade Landers and Alcoholics?
19:46
You know how much pain that is? Yeah, you know what I like.
19:51
This ain't about Bishop, but when they was going to the DJ competition And then
19:57
he talking to Latiba and she like, yeah, where you DJ at? And he's like, uh.
20:01
Uptown. Yeah, I did some stuff around the way and some parties and stuff.
20:05
She was like, oh, so you local?
20:07
It was like, no, no, no. I've been such and such and such and such.
20:09
And she was like, yeah, you local.
20:11
Oh, but she snapped on Flex. Oh, she did. Oh, man, she snapped on Flex.
20:17
She was trying to be nice. Right, right, right.
20:20
Hate to keep going back there, man, but. Go for it, bro. Chris Partlow.
20:25
Okay. From The Wire. Okay. An absolute psychopath.
20:30
Hey, when he beat up. The stepfather. Yes, yes, yes. His nose was like crooked on his face, bro.
20:38
He beat the F out that dude.
20:41
The fact that this man could smile at a delivery woman, help her,
20:47
her say thank you, and then look at him in the face, smile. he smiles at her
20:51
and he turns and shoots her in the heart.
20:55
Crazy. Crazy, bro. And then you find out the fool got a wife and two kids.
21:00
And he was scared of Omar.
21:03
Oh, and they killed Butchie. Remember they were in that and Snoop was like,
21:08
well, let's go buy some gifts for your kids.
21:10
He was throwing that knife. He was like, I'm gonna go around my people with Omar. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:16
Good character, though. I mean, Marlo wouldn't have been who he was without
21:21
hell no without that muscle yeah exactly he he needed chris and he needed him
21:25
to be wild like that also keep keep the streets in line as they say,
21:31

21:37
go with the will smith i am legend okay yeah i want i want to hear this all
21:41
right all right cool so just indulge,
21:45
I am legend.
21:47
Why is Will Smith the bad guy?
21:50
Here's why Will Smith is the bad guy. Forget the whole vampire.
21:55
Forget all of that. And let's just look at it from a bird's eye view.
22:01
Will Smith is hunting them.
22:05
Will Smith is kidnapping them. Are you writing a sentence? God damn it. Will Smith. Yeah.
22:14
Is experimenting on them. They do not come and mess with him until he kidnap
22:22
that girl, the head monster.
22:25
He kidnap her and take her back to the lab until they weren't messing with Will Smith.
22:31
Right. He was just barricading himself in the house at night.
22:34
Exactly. To avoid any nonsense. Exactly.
22:37
He was the one who was chasing and hunting and experimenting and kidnapping them.
22:43
Will Smith is absolutely the villain in I Am Legend.
22:48
And that's why he is on his list. None of that shit would be happening if he
22:53
just stayed in the damn house. You got the dog killed.
22:57
You almost got, what's her name?
22:59
The Hispanic actress. Oh. Sonia Braga or Alice Braga. Alice Braga.
23:05
Yeah, you almost got Alice Braga killed. Queen of the South.
23:07
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
23:09
Like, bro, you doing too much, man. Leave them monsters alone.
23:14
They ain't messing with you.
23:15
Nope. Why are you going out there messing with them every night?
23:18
Yeah, yeah. Will Smith is absolutely the bad guy on I Am Legend.
23:22
Absolutely. So...
23:26
The most despicable person on my list is next. Okay.
23:30
Kanan Stark from Power. Okay. Now, I'm just going to say one thing he did that
23:34
made him despicable. He shot and killed his own son.
23:40
We can move on. Hey, wait, wait, wait.
23:44
He told him, ghost your daddy, nigga, or something like that.
23:47
He told some stupid shit like that. He shot and killed him. That was wild, bro.
23:52
Yeah. Yeah. That was crazy. I ain't even suffocating the old lady in her apartment.
24:03
Hey, that fight between him and Ghost was pretty black, though.
24:07
Yeah, I'm like, man, get this movie ass. I like the fight. I didn't like the fact that he survived.
24:14
That too, because Ghost set him on fire, didn't he? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
24:21
You know how I feel about power. after
24:24
the first three or four seasons i was done yep yep
24:27
yep all right i'm gonna go with uh sam jackson as steven on jango one chain
24:34
i don't think any of us need to say anything else except for i wish clarence
24:41
thomas was a movie character instead of a real person so he could be on this list.
24:47
But Django, Steven from Django, Clarence Thomas, basically the same character
24:53
in my book. I count six bullets.
24:56
Yeah, I count two guns.
25:00
Hey, tell them, y'all go and get out of here. Not you, Steven. You stay right there.
25:10
So, I got two more. Candyman. Yes, sir. I don't know how I left that off my list. So...
25:18
Let me tell you something that haunted me. Well, for one, hell, we grew up.
25:22
Right around the corner. Shit, 12 miles from Cabrera Green. Cabrera Green, yep.
25:28
The bathroom murder. Oh, yeah. Man, that just gave me chills saying it. Yeah.
25:33
Well, first off, why are we watching that movie at that age? I know.
25:37
Well, no, we were in high school, though. Yeah, but we probably was like 14, 15. No, no, no.
25:42
I'd say 16, bro. Because you and I were really young in high school.
25:46
No, we were, Candyman was like 92, though, I want to say.
25:51
Hell, wasn't we 15? 15, 16, depending on, depending on. Yeah, yeah.
25:57
But back then, you know, they were real strict about letting them be 18. Oh, for sure.
26:01
For sure, for sure, for sure. Yeah, that bathroom scene and the fact that he
26:05
basically made Helen sacrifice herself to save the kid. Yeah. Oh, man.
26:10
It's a good movie, man. It was. It was a really, really good movie.
26:14
Yeah, I hate that they ruined it with that remake with Yaya Nam. Oh, yeah.
26:19
Yeah. Jordan, Jordan Peele. Yeah, that shit was terrible, bro.
26:22
Yeah, they ruined the classic. You right. That is it. And I'm mad at myself for overlooking that.
26:28
My last one I got on my list is Crystal Wilson.
26:33
And you probably going, who the hell is that?
26:36
That is Ronnie from Players Club.
26:42
I chose her.
26:44
Because she was just O.C. in the club. She let old girl get raped and was like, leave her there.
26:53
You know what I'm saying? The way she turned out.
26:57
Diamond. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, Ronnie was a trip.
27:01
All she cared about was that paper. She didn't care about nothing else but that paper.
27:06
Yeah, that chick was low down.
27:09
And she got what she deserved at the end. Got her ass whooped.
27:13
She got that ass straight whooped.
27:15
So, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ronnie from Players Club. That's the last one I got on my list.
27:20
But you got one that I definitely want to hear about.
27:23
So my last one, and people are going to be like, how the hell did you not realize this?
27:29
I'm putting a list together. Write this name down.
27:31
And then thought to myself, man, this dude white.
27:38
Gary Owen. Thomas Egan from Power.
27:45
So, there's two things that he did on the show. Well, there's way more.
27:50
Yeah. When he burned Ruiz up. Yeah.
27:54
And when he strangled Holly. Yeah.
27:56
Yeah. Strangling Holly, I was like, I get it with the character.
28:01
Right. But man, that shit was like, I can't watch this. It was cold blood.
28:05
Yeah, it was cold blood. Yeah.
28:07
Yeah, he drove, what, the Cleveland Strangler, didn't he? Yeah,
28:10
something like that. Yeah, yeah. You know, Tommy has so many bodies on that show, bro.
28:14
Dude, when he did the house tour and then killed the guy that was selling the
28:19
house with the baseball bat, I'm like, so you're just going to kill somebody in broad daylight?
28:23
Tommy had bodies, bro. I'm like, man, this character almost unbelievable how
28:27
many bodies he had. I'm like, if anybody should have died at the end of the
28:32
series, it should have been him and not Ghost.
28:34
Now, he do have some funny ass parts in that scene. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:38
But yeah, yeah. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy a good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:40
Definitely a good villain I'm
28:44
shocked because I thought for sure you would put quick on this list bro.
28:51
I thought I'm like, I'm like, I know he gonna put quick on this list.
28:55
Because, yeah, I thought we've talked about that. We did, which is why I thought
28:58
you were going to put him on the list. Yeah, he he is. If I had to compare.
29:03
Getting involved with things that had no business of yours, I put him and I'm
29:08
not putting it at the same level. Walt White.
29:11
I'm telling you, man, if you watch Breaking Bad, you'll finish and go,
29:14
oh, all Walt had to do was go to work, go home.
29:17
But instead he wanted to be,
29:21
just starting mess he wanted to be Nino Brown all he had to do was go to work
29:26
cook and go home to his wife I hear you and what we're talking about with Quick
29:33
is Eddie Murphy's character from Heart of Nights he caught me off guard for
29:37
a minute I was like what DJ Quick do.
29:40
Like I'm a dog oh man now that would be funny bro Yeah.
29:48
All right, y'all. So that's that's our list of 10 best black villains.
29:53
I know we probably got more than 10 because, you know, we added a few extras.
29:57
But if there's anyone on the list that you guys think we overlooked or you think
30:01
should be on the list, get at us in the comments. You know, let us let us know
30:05
if you think our list was trash or whatever.
30:08
No, you get at us in the comments. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:11
Give us give us your 10 black villains.
30:13
I know a lot of people probably like, how did y'all leave Killmonger off the list?
30:17
Because I, so I left Omar off for the same reason I left Kilmonger off. Mm-hmm.
30:24
Yeah, Omar was killing people, but Omar was also helping people.
30:29
Think about how much money he was. Now, they didn't show it a lot.
30:32
How much money he was dispersing back to the neighborhood.
30:34
No, that's true. People that needed things. He was handing money out. That's true.
30:38
Now, Killmonger came along and disrupted something as well based on what happened to his father.
30:45
But he wasn't wrong. That's how I feel about it.
30:48
That's why I didn't put him on the list because I'm like, man,
30:50
one can argue that Killmonger was damn near the hero of the movie.
30:54
Now, was Black Panther right to defend his home? For sure. Absolutely. For sure.
31:00
Because you came at all this the wrong way. Correct. But you were right. Correct.
31:05
Correct. No, I feel that. Yeah, I'm like, man, Killmonger kind of like an anti-hero
31:09
more than he is a villain.
31:12
So, yeah, that's why I didn't put him on my list. All right,
31:14
y'all, we're going to transition right into current events.
31:19
You got a current event you want to go with, brother? I do.
31:22
And I'm not sure you've seen this yet because we haven't talked about it.
31:26
Did you see that the Colorado Court of Appeals overturned that negligent homicide
31:30
conviction on those paramedics that killed Elijah McClain? I did hear about this story. Yeah.
31:35
So did you hear why? No.
31:39
So I'm just going to read word for word. They weren't cleared of wrongdoing.
31:46
The reversal happened because the trial judge gave the jury the wrong legal instructions.
31:51
The jury judged them as average citizens like you and I, but the appeals court
31:58
said that they legally had to be judged by the specific standards of medical professionals.
32:04
So basically, and what I'm reading from this is they would judge the same way
32:09
a police officer would be judged.
32:11
My job is this and that. Now, if you're in an emergency room and you have to
32:16
make a split second decision to save a life that can get you locked up or if
32:20
the police show up and say, hey, we need to draw blood on this patient.
32:23
Now, you can't draw blood because you don't have a court order. I'm with you.
32:28
But did you know in Colorado, up until that term, up until this happened, cops were trained.
32:35
And I got to find out what the word was that they the determination that they
32:41
used for this. It was something psychosis.
32:46
They were taught that. So apparently the cops, when Elijah McClan,
32:51
you've seen the video, I could only watch it once.
32:54
They were yelling, he's strong. He's too strong. We can't get a hold of him.
32:59
They immediately thought that he was in that state and injected him with ketamine.
33:05
Right. They gave him an overdose. 500 milligrams of ketamine. Yes.
33:09
Because they said you've seen Elijah McClain. They said he was over 200 pounds.
33:14
He was scrawny. He was scrawny.
33:17
He was my weight when I was in high school. Right. So the convictions were overturned.
33:22
Now, the other stuff didn't get overturned. Yeah.
33:25
But they only got four years or something.
33:28
Yeah. Yeah. For this nonsense. So they'll be out. But there will be no more.
33:32
There will no longer be a criminally negligent homicide hanging over their heads.
33:39
This is where the justice system fails the people, because this is a technicality.
33:48
It does not change the fact that that young man is dead because they gave him an overdose.
33:56
Those facts still remain. So it doesn't matter what you call it.
34:02
It doesn't change the action. They killed that young man and it was negligent.
34:08
It was totally their fault. So it's called excited delirium.
34:12
I don't know how I forgot that. But what's crazy is that.
34:17
They basically had blind obedience to bad science. Well, how in the hell?
34:23
Like if you and I were paramedics and somebody set us in the room and told us
34:29
that this was a scientific thing.
34:31
Being the type of people we are or hell, even were in our 20s,
34:35
we would have looked at each other and laughed.
34:38
You're saying because the cop said that he's too strong
34:41
he won't stop resisting that you injected
34:44
him with 500 milligrams of ketamine isn't
34:49
that the excuse that they always use to
34:52
abuse black men though that they're too strong isn't
34:55
that the same thing they said about rodney king why they kept whooping
34:58
his ass because he was too strong no he was
35:01
trying to get up and run because y'all was whooping his ass wasn't
35:04
he was trying to fight y'all back they say that same with
35:07
uh michael brown that that cop yeah i
35:10
felt like i was wrestling with hawk hogan really i mean because you don't have
35:14
any bruises bro if you was wrestling with hawk hogan you would have been slammed
35:18
on the hood of that that cop right exactly you would have got your ass whipped
35:22
if you were wrestling with hawk hogan but felt like i was wrestling they always
35:26
give us that strong he was so strong, I had no choice.
35:31
Miss me with that, man. So the last thing. The excited delirium,
35:35
the way that they teach it, is basically like comic book symptoms.
35:40
This was written in the log.
35:43
This is what they taught paramedics until this situation.
35:48
Comic book symptoms. That's how I when I when I was researching it,
35:52
that's how one article described it. I don't even know what that means, bro.
35:57
Well, Captain America, Ron jump off a building. Hell, when he when he jumped
36:01
out the elevator. Yeah. Like those.
36:04
That's what you're injecting him with ketamine for because you think that he has superhuman.
36:09
Yeah. I'm like, I don't think their brother would have did that. He's 143 pounds. Right.
36:15
There are two cops. Right. He's telling you he can't breathe. Right.
36:20
And you as a paramedic show up. Not only do you inject him with ketamine,
36:24
you then turn to check on to see how the cops are doing. Correct. As he's dying.
36:29
Correct. Correct. Yeah.
36:34
Yeah. Crazy. They don't really care about us.
36:38
Michael Jackson told us a long time ago. Yep. Yep.
36:42
I'm going to go lighter, but somewhat serious. You were done with that,
36:47
right? I'm going to go lighter, but somewhat serious with my current event.
36:51
Remember the murder was the case soundtrack? Oh, yeah. Remember 21 Jump Street? Absolutely.
36:58
All right. So where am I going with all of this?
37:01
As we come into the summer season in America, because I know we have an international
37:07
listener. Shout out to y'all.
37:09
As we go into the summer seasons in America.
37:12
There is going to be more cookouts, more gatherings, more get togethers,
37:20
more picnics, whatever you want to call it, more reasons for people to congregate.
37:26
The reason why I brought up that song, because there is a lyric and bet nobody bring a gun.
37:35
Y'all, learn how to have a good time. We don't need a cookout full of guns.
37:42
We don't need a cookout full of tough guys.
37:45
Learn how to have fun and just enjoy yourself.
37:52
And if you're the type of guy that's saying, listen to this nigga talking that
37:56
soft ass shit, then you're the type of guy that don't need to come to the cookout.
38:01
We did the episode, Who's Invited to the Cookout? You
38:04
knuckleheads who don't know how to act You're not
38:08
invited to the cookout Don't be that guy Learn
38:12
how to just chill and have fun Everything
38:15
isn't a dick swinging contest Where you have to prove how hard you are Improve
38:20
your masculinity You're toxic Don't be that guy Too many shootings are happening
38:29
At just regular get-togethers where people are just trying to have a good time.
38:35
And I'm thinking about the... Prom? No, in Muncie, where they had the little party in Muncie.
38:43
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Last weekend, I believe it was, and like two or three
38:47
people, I think, got shot.
38:48
Come on, y'all, knock it off. Really? This is what we're doing?
38:53
We can't get together not one time without some fool shooting up the place over
38:59
something stupid because nine times out of 10 is something stupid.
39:03
And it's always some punk that wear 125 pounds with two small pants on with
39:08
an extended clip in his pocket.
39:10
Learn how to have fun, man. All right? Learn how to chill, relax,
39:16
and just enjoy the atmosphere.
39:19
All right? This summer, the theme is bet nobody bring them up. I'm good.
39:26
It's enough, y'all. We need to do better.
39:30
That's my current event. All right, cool. All right, y'all.
39:33
We're going to transition right into our rant about a random topic.
39:39
My favorite segment of the show. You got a rock, brother, you want to kick off
39:43
with? Oh, yeah. All right, let's get it.
39:45
So this is one I know you'll like because we talk about this stuff quite often.
39:49
So World Cup's about to start. Mm-hmm.
39:52
It has been announced that they have this AI-driven method for social media.
39:59
To monitor over 30,000 offensive keywords and phrases in every single language
40:04
from around the world. Ain't that about nothing.
40:08
It hides abusive, racist, and homophobic comments in under two seconds.
40:14
So, the reason I brought that up is because the first thing I said to myself
40:19
is, so they're doing this for the World Cup? Right.
40:24
Why don't they just do it in other places? Right.
40:27
In other situations. So the reason they do it for the World Cup is because these
40:30
massive advertisers don't want those advertisements that show up rather Facebook
40:35
more often than Instagram.
40:37
Because on Facebook, if you're watching a reel, now you get ads that pop up at the bottom. Okay.
40:44
So let's say Apple, since I've got an iPad in front of me, advertises on one of those reels.
40:51
And then the comment section is somebody calling somebody out their name,
40:54
calling them racial slurs or, you know, anti-Semitic, whatever.
40:59
They don't want to see that and they could pull their ads. Interesting.
41:03
So they got punishing the platform, not the individual. Right. OK, right.
41:08
So they're rolling this out. OK.
41:12
To stop it. OK. OK. Bro, do you know how often I see white people on Instagram
41:18
calling people monkeys, gigaboos, porch monkeys?
41:27
Nothing happens. Right. Except when the people that it happens to post it.
41:34
I was about to say that. You know the letter up, baby. You can't say nothing about but,
41:43
There was a girl on TikTok. She had a bunch of hatred for a video she posted.
41:49
It was months ago because I don't even get on there anymore.
41:53
She talked about it, even shared what was sent to her in an audio message,
41:59
her Instagram and her DM, and what was left in the comment section.
42:05
They took away her TikTok account
42:06
for racial and for toxic because she was saying, he called me this.
42:12
He called wow she got flagged so
42:15
she got flagged for reporting it she
42:19
reported the page and everything that's crazy
42:22
but you know they always be able to go to x because uh no elon ain't gonna well
42:27
that's one of the platforms that's actually engaging really but here's the reason
42:31
why the advertising yeah because you know you ain't got no damn money right
42:35
right by the way next week we really need to talk about this IPO,
42:41
SpaceX IPO bullshit. Let's get it.
42:43
You already know how I feel about all of that anyway.
42:47
We thought Trump had the biggest grifts. Yeah. This dude is the biggest grifter
42:52
in the last 20 years. I'm writing it down.
42:56
I'm making a note of it right now. Yeah.
42:59
Yeah. Let's get it. It scans the players' feeds, the team feeds on Facebook,
43:04
TikTok, YouTube, so on so forth so i just wanted to bring that up because it
43:09
it just it blows my mind the double standard,
43:12
where because the world cup yeah coming
43:15
yeah you can you can uh put those those those tools in effect right but when
43:22
people report it you tell them well it's free speech or right right right that's
43:27
this account or that account but then when the world cup with fifa to ask you
43:32
you're like oh Oh, yeah, sure.
43:34
I've always had like this...
43:38
I'm trying to figure out how to word this. Right. My my my my issue with the
43:42
free speech argument and and I am not against free speech.
43:48
But at the same time, that free speech doesn't give you the right to insult
43:54
other racial groups. There's consequences.
43:57
There's consequences. There are there. There should be consequences for it.
44:02
Right. I mean, like there there has to be a limit to it.
44:06
You know, you just can't say I hate this group, that group, whatever, whatever.
44:11
And then say, I got free speech. I can say what I want to say.
44:14
Yeah, you you technically you can.
44:17
But when you get dealt with, don't start crying about a free speech.
44:24
Well, hey, nothing, nothing's free in this world.
44:27
That's what they taught us. there was a and it's it's
44:30
like British comedy is notoriously you know they got some dark humor oh for
44:33
sure and there's a uh commercial that went around over in Great Britain a couple
44:37
years ago and they would pull up with a like a U-Haul truck dude to show up
44:42
to the door knock on the door he got a clipboard and he was like hi are you
44:45
John Smith yeah I'm John Smith okay awesome so on X,
44:49
about two weeks ago you said and I'm just gonna throw
44:52
an American boxer you said well I'm Anthony Joshua rather
44:55
you said that you could last three
44:58
minutes with Anthony Joshua I did you
45:02
write that yeah I wrote it okay cool he'd whistle
45:05
in the box and Anthony Joshua would get off like he was like you ready and the
45:11
commercial's like two minutes long yeah and it is hilarious like they had an
45:15
MMA fighter a boxer some dude that did jujitsu but they brought it to him let me ask you this,
45:23
so if you if you've got to wear the head gear no.
45:28
I'm not finished. If you got to wear the headgear and the chest protector that
45:34
Major League Baseball umpires get to wear, the ones behind home plate, would you do it there?
45:40
Do what? Fight like Anthony Joshua or Mike Tyson or something for a million dollars? No.
45:46
Even with the headgear and the chest protector role, you wouldn't do it?
45:49
So when I was still on, well,
45:52
when I still followed Ryan Garcia before he started posting
45:56
crazy stuff he's done a lot of videos where he's
45:59
notorious for like people to put on the stomach protector because
46:01
he hits yeah hard yeah and he
46:05
would hit people in their stomachs man they would last like two punches six
46:10
foot eight 300 pounds lasting two punches i've seen him hit people one time
46:15
yeah him on the ground i'm like oh hell no yeah and that's and ryan garcia's
46:20
what 153 pounds Right, right, right. No, no, no, no.
46:24
Yeah. I wouldn't do it either. I'm like, man, if I can run the whole time, do I got to engage?
46:32
If I can run for three minutes, yeah, I'd do it.
46:35
That fight will end like Martin and Tommy Hearns.
46:40
Ooh, that's a classic episode. My goodness, that's a classic. For my work.
46:46
Were you finished with that, by the way? I'm sorry, man. No,
46:48
you didn't. For my word, I want to talk about perspectives.
46:54
And I want to be clear when I say this. There are times when we need to stand on business.
47:03
And I mean, there are times when we need to stand 10 toes down on business.
47:09
But there are also times where we just need to recognize that it's a different perspective.
47:17
So what do I mean by that? I'm gonna give you an example. So there's a show
47:21
called The Avengers, not the Marvel Avengers.
47:26
This is the British show, The Avengers. And they made a movie in the late 90s, I believe it was.
47:32
And it starred Uma Thurman, Sean Connery and Ralph Fiennes.
47:38
And it's an old like British spy show. But there is a scene in the movie.
47:44
Ralph Fiennes is the protagonist.
47:47
Sean Connery is the antagonist. And they have a discussion.
47:53
And Ralph Fiennes character, he's very proper, very posh. He always carried an umbrella.
48:00
So Sean Connery goes, a man who carries around an umbrella expects the worst. Thank you.
48:09
Ray Fiennes' response is, a man without an umbrella is unprepared.
48:17
Both perspectives are correct. There is no right or wrong answer.
48:23
I see both of their perspectives on that.
48:26
You know, even though it was meant to be a quip, it's just a different perspective
48:32
in how one person's outlook is on life versus another person's outlook on life. And it's okay.
48:40
It's okay. All right. It's okay for people to have different perspectives.
48:47
All right, guys. It's cool.
48:50
Everything doesn't have to be so retreating to my corner.
48:53
And this is where I'm standing. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not a right or wrong thing.
48:59
Sometimes it's just a different perspective. So with that being said,
49:04
I'm encouraging you guys to step back some time and just look at it from a different perspective.
49:11
It's amazing how much you can learn when you just look at things from a different
49:18
perspective and not always trying to stand 10 toes down on things.
49:24
Again, sometimes it's necessary, but sometimes it's not.
49:29
That's my work. so when you said the
49:32
avengers and i pulled it up and immediately saw
49:35
the the poster movie poster i was like
49:37
i remember this i never watched it but i'm like i remember
49:40
this now i'm gonna have to check it out it oh
49:45
man it's not what i thought it
49:48
was going to be it's it's got the red dragon in it though it does gotta watch
49:53
the action isn't there i'm gonna put it like that it's it's much more for it
50:00
to be like a spy thriller almost like a hero type show there isn't much action
50:06
well she's dressed like Black Widow.
50:09
You think spoiler alert she's actually playing multiple
50:12
roles okay but it's it's it's
50:15
okay i mean if if you get bored watching it
50:18
bro i told you so you know
50:23
what's funny is i just clicked on the imdb and
50:26
it says is the avengers from 1998 worth watching the
50:30
the last few sentences it is just lacking in any
50:33
real consistent value it says
50:36
overall this is not a laughably terrible film it's just
50:39
lacking yeah yeah it is really just kind
50:42
of yeah you know i i watched
50:45
it because i was expecting something else and i'm with those three hell yeah
50:49
right and and i'm i'm a huge sean connery fan i understand that he's toxic and
50:54
he did some some some terrible things to women but i admit i'm still a huge
50:58
sean connery fan you know i i did he just got a spot in my heart Yeah,
51:02
I like Ralph Fiennes, too.
51:04
Yeah. Yeah, that dude can act. Yeah. All right, y'all. With that being said,
51:08
we're going to roll right into five in the blackhand side.
51:12
And the movie review we chose this week is Belly.
51:18
Go ahead, my brother. Yeah. Yeah.
51:23
So, boy, I'm about to piss off so many people.
51:27
We're about to piss off a lot of people. So, the movie was released in 98.
51:33
Mm-hmm. Director is Hype Williams.
51:35
Mm-hmm. Now, obviously, we grew up watching Hype Williams videos. Yep. We loved them.
51:39
Yep. Main cast of the movie, DMX is Bonds. Yep. Nas is Sincere. Yep.
51:44
Miss Hicks is Keisha. Yep. Which, we'll get into that.
51:48
T-On T-Boz Watkins as T-On. Right.
51:53
Method Man as Shamik and Assange Johnson as Mark. Yep.
51:58
So I'll just give a brief synopsis for those who haven't seen it. Yeah.
52:02
I find this synopsis hilarious. Spoiler alerts, by the way.
52:06
It starts and it says two young successful street criminals from Queens. Yeah.
52:11
Boy, Tommy and Sincere find themselves at a critical crossroads.
52:16
Tommy fully embraces the ruthless, violent drug trade, seeking to expand his
52:20
empire by partnering with the Jamaican cartel to push a new form of heroin.
52:24
Sincere, on the other hand, begins questioning their destructive lifestyle.
52:30
Driven by his girlfriend, Tion, Sincere looks to get out of the game,
52:34
reconnect with his African roots and build a peaceful life for his family.
52:39
As their past drastically diverge, Tommy hits a wall that forces a profound religious awakening.
52:47
Was it a religious awakening, bro? Which is still hilarious.
52:51
While sincere fights to successfully escape to the motherland.
52:58
What would you like to start? Oh, gosh. Could it be the robbery scene in the club?
53:04
Let's talk about the good parts. This ought to be quick.
53:09
I love the club. I love the way they walked in and their eyes glowing. That's a classic entry.
53:17
Hype Williams, classic Hype Williams. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that.
53:23
I love the fact that the Jamaican Dandada made DMX go to Jamaica to prove he
53:30
was worthy, that he was going to be a good business partner.
53:34
And he had him to go kill a chicken man or whatever his name was.
53:38
You know, I didn't realize until I restarted research, even though I've seen
53:41
Belly a couple of times, I didn't realize that that was a Louis Rankin. Was it? Yes.
53:46
I was played by Louis Rankin. I'm like, oh. And then I went and watched the
53:51
clip. I was like, oh shit, that is him.
53:53
Oh, wow. Now I'm going to do that. Yeah.
53:56
But yeah, I love that he made him go prove himself before he considered him
54:01
a worthy business partner to take on.
54:04
Oh, man. I...
54:07
I kind of get what you just read in the synopsis about he has a religious awakening.
54:16
That trajectory was kind of like, okay, I see it. But the way it was portrayed
54:21
in the movie was so clumsy.
54:24
It really was. It really was. It was kind of like, what is he doing?
54:30
I thought he was going to assassinate dude. And that's his religious awakening.
54:36
Is he was actually going to assassinate the dude and then dude magically talked
54:42
him out of it. I'm like, come on, man.
54:45
But I like his trajectory all in all. I guess I'll give credit to that scene.
54:50
Although I thought the way it was portrayed, as you said, but the pastor, that was Dr. Chavez Jr.
55:01
Was it? Yes. Okay. So, you know, lifelong civil rights actor. Yeah, yeah.
55:06
It was said that Hype Williams picked him specifically for that role in those
55:11
scenes because he knew that he could just go with it and be able to talk to
55:16
a young black man who's going through something at the time. Okay. All right.
55:23
I love the soundtrack.
55:29
Those are the positives. Now it's time for the negatives.
55:35
So one of the biggest negatives to me, and I didn't tell you,
55:39
I left out some things when we were talking about this the other day.
55:42
So Keisha's character, she had a strict, no on scene sex policy with her.
55:49
She wasn't against kissing, touching, that type thing.
55:56
So she knew that there was going to be some type of scene with her in DMX.
56:00
I told you wrong with this. she wasn't aware it was going to be what it was
56:06
and apparently they did such a good job at editing,
56:11
that her family thought that that was her body oh wow
56:14
because that's how good the body double was yeah so
56:18
i read a little bit more yes last night when
56:21
they were talking she was talking about how for years after that
56:24
she was on every news show interviews
56:28
that she could think of to let people notice that was
56:31
not her idea right that sex i i'm gonna
56:34
be honest until you told me that story i thought it
56:36
was her now as young man that was the best movie yeah i i told him he thought
56:42
it was her let's talk about some of the silly characters in this movie got another
56:49
nugget for you go ahead the silliest character in this movie to me was method man's character,
56:57
I know he was supposed to be the assassin, but he was so like, hey, Ikey.
57:02
And I did just all that. Just so over the top. I'm just like,
57:05
bro, what? Seriously? Is this the hell is Nebraska?
57:10
And then the way he went out, the old girl, you know, smacked him with the iron.
57:15
And I'm just like, man, this character, this character served no purpose in
57:20
the in the in the movie to me. anyway.
57:23
He ain't the most problematic, but he was the silliest character in the whole movie to me. So...
57:32
He'll always be Tyron Turner I don't care what he do he'll always be so.
57:41
When this movie was.
57:47
When this movie was originally cast Hype Williams promised him buns oh really
57:54
yeah I didn't know that yeah so when Big Hair Rico the banana,
58:01
the wig the glasses none
58:05
of it was in the script really he did
58:08
all that himself to ruin the movie oh wow yeah
58:12
i looked up some clips after i saw that he he tell he's like oh yeah he said
58:16
yeah mad as hell at me he was like he did it to ruin the movie and he said in
58:23
typical hood movie fashion it ends up being some of people's favorite scenes
58:28
like walking out there with that uh that string I'm like,
58:31
bro, lick your lips, man. It's funny. I'm looking at some bananas.
58:34
Yeah. That fool had that string hanging. He was like, yeah, I don't like that.
58:37
Then the close up on the camera. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, really,
58:40
bro? You can't lick your lips, man.
58:42
The way he went out, that whole scene, it made no sense.
58:49
The whole Omaha shit period made no sense, bro. Method man kills him,
58:56
shoots two other people, gets shot out of a window, gets up.
59:03
Police coming. He takes two shots with a Desert Eagle with no recoil. Right.
59:10
The cop car just sat there and let them drive off. Right.
59:15
So the most. I'm trying to describe this the best.
59:20
I'm trying to because I call Method Man the silliest character.
59:24
But the most ridiculous character was DMX. Oh, God, yes.
59:30
He everything he was doing made no sense, bro. Making old boy strip.
59:38
The whole Omaha. I'm out here in Omaha. I don't care about no police.
59:44
Yeah. You're riding around with a trunk full of dope. Yeah. I'm running these
59:48
red lights, nigga. I don't care.
59:51
Why not? You about to go to jail over something stupid.
59:55
Why don't you care? When they were in the restaurant, him and them two Y-Ears. Oh.
1:00:02
And these dudes shoot each other. They're supposed to be homies.
1:00:05
They shoot each other over absolutely nothing.
1:00:07
Well, no. The one dude gets shot. But you ain't hard. I am hard.
1:00:11
That's the silliest argument.
1:00:14
And BMX just sit there and finish your drink. This dude just got shot.
1:00:19
In a restaurant. In a restaurant.
1:00:21
A fancy restaurant. And you're going to sit there and finish your drink.
1:00:25
I'm like, man, where they do that at?
1:00:29
So, I would say, well, first, let me say this.
1:00:33
Nas is, it's very difficult to think who's the worst actor between him and Snoop.
1:00:42
Yo, I lost my page. No,
1:00:52
The way he talked about Africa, like it was going to Chicago.
1:00:57
Right. We want to move to Africa. Where? Right.
1:01:00
Right. It's got 50 countries, bro.
1:01:04
Yeah. South Africa. East, West. Yeah. Pretty big continent, cuz.
1:01:09
And then at the end, man, Africa.
1:01:13
Right. What? Right.
1:01:16
Bro when they tried to kill him why did dude run up on him with the gun close
1:01:22
enough for him to grab him and flip him over no why did az walk away well that
1:01:26
part too but like bro you know bullets come out the gun bro you know you don't
1:01:31
need to be right up on him to shoot him.
1:01:37
My favorite though is when he was talking to the little young dude in uh in
1:01:41
queensbridge yeah Little kid was sitting outside and he hands him his chain.
1:01:46
Yeah. The very next scene, he got that chain on.
1:01:51
The very next scene.
1:01:57
Same clothes with the chain on.
1:02:01
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw somebody pointed that out to me years ago and I was
1:02:06
like, hell no, he do got the chain on again. I did like when they came for the big dog, the Jamaican.
1:02:15
Oh, that that that that scene was hard. I like that.
1:02:19
I'm the original Jamaican.
1:02:21
You want to run with me? He was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was that was that was a hard scene.
1:02:29
Yeah, man.
1:02:32
I don't know, bro. I think we basically done summed up this whole movie.
1:02:35
I mean, let me say, I'm going to say what I said to you on the phone.
1:02:39
This is a good and terrible movie at the same time. Yeah.
1:02:45
Everybody we grew up with seemed to love this movie. Right, right.
1:02:48
And there are some scenes that are, you know, pretty popular, pretty famous.
1:02:54
But there's also some scenes where you're just like, this makes no sense.
1:02:58
And most of them involve Nas or DMX. Correct.
1:03:01
Correct. It was almost like, what's the most ridiculous thing we can have two hood dudes do? Yeah.
1:03:08
That's it. Let's do that. And it's just like, no, bro, that's unrealistic.
1:03:15
Like, no. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1:03:20
Shout out to DMX. May he rest in peace.
1:03:23
But but but yeah bro he he was
1:03:26
he was so over the top in this movie
1:03:28
i mean his character was just crazy silly and
1:03:32
let's talk about one one more thing how how you gonna show up to the midwest
1:03:38
dress like y'all right clubbing every day right right we midwest kids right
1:03:47
think about some of the cats that used to move to Hammond,
1:03:50
as we were growing up. How over the top they were.
1:03:53
Right. How they did not fit in. Right. At all. Right. You spot them a mile away. Who that?
1:03:59
Yep. You spot them a mile away. Immediately. Yep. The only people that was dressing
1:04:03
like some of these cats was the pimps in Chicago and Detroit.
1:04:06
Yep. Yep. We was t-shirts, Levi's. Right.
1:04:10
Dope man Nikes. Right. Trying to be comfortable. Yeah. For the most part. Yeah.
1:04:19
Yeah, oh man So I guess it's time to rape, Belly Uh,
1:04:25
Oh, man, I'm going to give it two and a half high fives on the black hand side.
1:04:31
I'm giving it the peace sign.
1:04:35
So like I said, this is a good and terrible movie at the same time.
1:04:44
If you want to just see some ridiculousness, watch this movie. You'll enjoy it.
1:04:50
But you also go. What?
1:04:54
Several times throughout the movie your reaction will be what?
1:04:58
When he was arguing with Keisha when she was in the shower or no he was in the
1:05:03
shower rather how over the top he was being Keisha grabbed a towel I'm walking.
1:05:12
Yeah so over the top man like I said two and a half one time you watch this
1:05:20
movie one time and then you put it away hey Funny.
1:05:25

1:05:34
all that divorce i guess yep yes sir so
1:05:37
anyway that's r5 on the uh black
1:05:40
hand side movie review and now it's
1:05:43
time for the closing monologue my brother
1:05:46
the floor is yours appreciate it so i
1:05:49
want to talk about something that happened in south carolina over
1:05:52
the past week there was a jury there was
1:05:55
a trial and a jury looked over at a 61 year old
1:05:58
man named rick chow and they said two words not guilty so for those who don't
1:06:07
know who rick chow is let me remind you what happened he chased down a 14 year
1:06:12
old boy mr cyrus belton sorry cyrus Carmack Bell,
1:06:17
shot him in the back. Why?
1:06:20
Because child thought Cyrus stole four bottles of water. Four bottles.
1:06:27
If you're my age, you already know we've been down this exact same road.
1:06:32
So we're going to flash back to 1991.
1:06:35
A young girl, 15 years old, walks in the Empire liquor. Her name is LaTosha Harlins.
1:06:42
She dropped a $1.79 bottle of orange juice in her backpack as she is walking
1:06:48
to the counter with $2 in her hand.
1:06:53
The lady, the owner, who she doesn't even deserve to be mentioned by name on
1:06:58
here, accuses her of stealing. Correct.
1:07:00
They get into it, and as LaTosha turns around to walk out, she is shot in the back of the head.
1:07:06
Sure is. Unfortunately, that video is online for people to see.
1:07:10
It is disturbing and disgusting.
1:07:12
The jury...
1:07:14
Their job. They convicted her of manslaughter. But the judge said, nah, you can go home.
1:07:21
Not a single day behind bars. That was in California, right?
1:07:26
That was over 30 years ago.
1:07:29
Two black teenagers, two corner stores, two assumptions over a cheap drink, two lives taken.
1:07:37
We talk about the history between the black community and Korean business owners.
1:07:41
We aren't just reading from a textbook.
1:07:43
We're talking about decades of folks setting up shop in our neighborhoods,
1:07:48
making a living off of our dollars, but still seeing our kids as a threat.
1:07:53
Proximity does not equal understanding. The courts keep showing us exactly how
1:07:59
much the system values are used.
1:08:01
Until we figure out how to change that math, history is just going to continue to repeat itself.
1:08:08
Usually I will stop right there But go and This is for the listeners not to
1:08:15
you Go and look up this case guys It's really messed up,
1:08:23
You're right There's similarities between the LA case and the South Carolina
1:08:27
case But I also want to throw in the Trayvon Martin case Into this With this
1:08:34
with this parallel, the prosecutors.
1:08:40
If the prosecutor was any good in South Carolina, Chow would still be in jail.
1:08:49
I think he overreached.
1:08:51
Just like Trayvon Martin's case. Just like Trayvon Martin's case.
1:08:55
They overreached. Instead of going for a manslaughter charge,
1:09:00
they went for the first degree murder charge, which basically means you have to have intent.
1:09:07
You and I talked about it. Correct. As it was happening. Correct.
1:09:10
And excuse me, had they just went for a manslaughter charge,
1:09:15
they would have probably got a conviction. So.
1:09:20
Again, you're right. The system doesn't care about us. This is how they view us.
1:09:25
But again, this is why down ballot voting is important.
1:09:32
Get these janky prosecutors out who do not care about us. And do not just vote.
1:09:42
I stopped doing this locally a long time ago.
1:09:45
Stop just voting all Democrat. Find out who they are. Or for Republicans or
1:09:49
Republican. Because you know what?
1:09:52
There's some prosecutors out there that identify as Republican that have put
1:09:56
some of the worst criminals of worst of the worst.
1:09:58
Right. In prison for the rest of their lives.
1:10:01
Right. The other thing with that is you can always run as a Democrat and be Republican.
1:10:07
Sheriff Cowboy used to do it in Wisconsin all
1:10:10
the time to ensure he ran right he ran as
1:10:13
a Democrat knowing full well he was a
1:10:16
Republican yeah alright y'all that concludes this episode of For The Fan Podcast
